Recent investigations have delved into the intricate association between metacognition and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). However, the body of evidence remains inconclusive. While some studies suggest diminished levels of metacognitive sensitivity in individuals with ASD, others do not substantiate this claim. Capitalizing on the presence of autistic traits within the broader population, our research explores the interplay between visual metacognition and autistic traits across a cohort of 360 neurotypical participants. Our assessment of metacognition hinged on the alignment between individuals’ confidence and the accuracy of their choices within a visual two-alternative forced-choice task. Concurrently, we gauged autistic traits using the Autism-spectrum Quotient (AQ) score. Through a regression analysis, our findings revealed no statistically significant correlation between autistic traits and metacognition or the level of confidence in the task. Furthermore, an examination of AQ sub-scales also yielded no discernible link with metacognition. In sum, our research does not substantiate the hypothesis asserting an association between autistic traits and metacognition in the broader population.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Author: Embon Iair | email: iairembon@gmail.com | Cognition, Behavior, and Memory<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-1278","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-session-1","tag-cognition-behavior-and-memory"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1278","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1278"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1278\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1752,"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1278\/revisions\/1752"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
